DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new bed sheet device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5 , the bed sheet assembly 10 generally comprises a mattress 12 that has a top surface 14 and a perimeter surface 16, and the perimeter surface 16 has a first sidelong side 18 and a second sidelong side 20. The mattress 12 may be a sleeping mattress of any conventional design and the mattress 12 may be of any conventional size, including but not being limited to, king, queen and double. A fitted bed sheet 22 is provided and the fitted bed sheet 22 is positionable on the mattress 12. First guide indicia 24 are printed on the fitted bed sheet 22 and the first guide indicia 24 comprise a pair of lines 25 each spaced a strategic distance apart from each other which corresponds to a width of the mattress 12. In this way the first guide indicia 24 facilitate a user to accurately position the fitted bed sheet 22 on the mattress 12. The fitted bed sheet 22 may be manufactured in a variety of sizes which match the various sizes of the mattress 12, including but not being limited to, king, queen and double.

The fitted bed sheet 22 has a top surface 26 and a perimeter edge 28, and the perimeter edge 28 has a front side 30, a back side 32, a first lateral side 34 and a second lateral side 36. The first guide indicia 24 extend between the front side 30 and the back side 32 of the perimeter edge 28. Additionally, each of the lines 25 defined by the first guide indicia 24 is equidistant from a respective one of the first lateral side 34 or the second lateral side 36 of the perimeter edge 28. A distance between each of the lines 25 and the respective first lateral side 34 or the second lateral side 36 is at least equivalent to a height of the first sidelong side 18 and the second sidelong side 20 of the perimeter surface 16 of the mattress 12. Each of the lines 25 extends along an intersection between the top surface 14 of the mattress 12 and a respective one of the first sidelong side 18 or the second sidelong side 20 when the fitted bed sheet 22 is positioned on the mattress 12. Additionally, the first guide indicia 24 comprise embroidery exposed on the top surface 44, and the embroidery comprise the letters “NG”.

An unfitted bed sheet 38 is positionable on the mattress 12 when the fitted bed sheet 22 is positioned on the mattress 12. Second guide indicia 40 are printed on the unfitted bed sheet 38 and the second guide indicia 40 comprise a pair of lines 42 each spaced a strategic distance apart from each other which corresponds to a width of the mattress 12. In this way the second guide indicia 40 facilitate a user to accurately position the unfitted bed sheet 38 on the mattress 12. The unfitted bed sheet 38 has a top surface 44 and a perimeter edge 46, and the perimeter edge 46 of the unfitted bed sheet 38 has a front side 48, a back side 50, a first lateral side 52 and a second lateral side 54. The unfitted bed sheet 38 may be manufactured in a variety of sizes which match the various sizes of the mattress 12, including but not being limited to, king, queen and double.

The second guide indicia 40 extend between the front side 48 and the back side 50 of the perimeter edge 46 of the unfitted bed sheet 38. Each of the lines 42 defined by the second guide indicia 40 is equidistant from a respective one of the first lateral side 52 or the second lateral side 54 of the perimeter edge 46 of the unfitted bed sheet 38. Moreover, a distance between each of the lines 42 and the respective first lateral side 52 or the second lateral side 54 of the perimeter edge 46 of the unfitted bed sheet 38 is at least equivalent to a height of the first sidelong side 18 and the second sidelong side 20 of the perimeter surface 16 of the mattress 12. Each of the lines 42 defined by the second guide indicia 40 extend along an intersection between the top surface 44 of the mattress 12 and a respective one of the first sidelong side 18 or the second sidelong side 20 when the unfitted bed sheet 38 is positioned on the mattress 12. The second guide indicia 40 comprise embroidery exposed on the top surface 44 of the unfitted bed sheet 38, and the embroidery comprise the letters “NG”.

In use, the fitted bed sheet 22 is positioned on the mattress 12 such that each of the lines 42 defined by the first guide indicia 24 are aligned with the respective first sidelong side 18 and second sidelong side 20 of the perimeter surface 16 of the mattress 12. In this way the fitted bed sheet 22 can be accurately located on the mattress 12 to facilitate the fitted bed sheet 22 to properly fit the mattress 12. The unfitted bed sheet 38 is positioned on the mattress 12 when the fitted bed sheet 22 is positioned on the mattress 12. The lines 42 defined by the second guide indicia 40 are aligned with the respective first sidelong side 18 and second sidelong side 20 of the perimeter surface 16 of the mattress 12. In this way the unfitted bed sheet 38 can be accurately located on the mattress 12 to facilitate the unfitted bed sheet 38 to properly fit the mattress 12.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
